BRIAN GORDON'S BACK! HOLY COW IT'S A GOOD DAY

Sarcasm is dripping from that headline... I kid of course.

You remember Brian Gordon.  He played with the Yankees very briefly when they were having some pitching issues in 2011.  Well, he's back, according to Ken Davidoff:

The #Yankees have signed RHP Brian Gordon to a minor-league contract.

So yeah, it's a minor league deal and I liked Gordon when he was with us.  Apparently Yankee brass does too.  Just to give you a recap, and according to Lou DiPietro of YES Network.com, "Gordon, who converted to pitching from the outfield in 2005, has hurled just 14 Major League innings, going 0-1 with a 4.40 ERA in five games (two starts) with the 2008 Texas Rangers and 2011 Yankees."

Don't forget, after Gordon was with us for 5 minutes in 2011, he went to Korea to pitch. Lou writes that after Gordon spent "half of 2011 and all of 2012 in Korea, Gordon returned to the U.S. in 2013, signing with the Athletics organization and going 4-0 with a 3.57 ERA and 23 saves in 51 relief appearances at Triple-A Sacramento."

Welcome home Brian. Thanks for the great reporting Ken and Lou.
